LA Citybeat reports on a new law that will impose a $21.69 permit fee on every free-standing newsrack in the city (how’d they come up with that number?) and mandate that all racks be painted a standard color over the next seven years, as well as limited to sixteen per block face, one rack per publication. The standard color will be green, which I think is a good choice, because it’ll help compensate for the lack of trees in many LA neighborhoods.

Citybeat reports that a coalition of publications formed to fight this ordinance fell apart when the LA Times withdrew its objections.
